• A lustrous antiqued gold finish coats smart cufflinks bearing the profile of the Greek goddess in helmet Athena. After the Persian wars, Athens was the dominant naval power of the eastern Mediterranean; its successful commercial power led to the creation of an international coinage. These cufflinks are fashioned after ancient Athenian coins, first produced in the 490s BC and imitated for centuries in many parts of the ancient world. The face on the links is Athena, the city's patron goddess.
• Besides trade, ancient coins were also used to promote rulers, to celebrate victories, or to bind peoples together. Based on a country's purpose or religion, these coins featured the heads of gods or their symbols - plants, animals, or portraits of rulers. Cufflinks measure 20mm in diameter with a 2.5mm thickness; back of the cuff links have a textured image of the Athena Owl. Perfect for history enthusiasts.
• Greco Roman style captures the spirit of the ancient Empire, combining common as well as philosophical themes and cultural design elements drawn from the ancient world
